It's Amazing What a Full Night of Sleep Feels Like

Not to mention an all expense paid trip for a week to Hawaii!!! Matt and I were fortunate enough that he won his works Achievers Club trip again this year (last years post about our trip to Atlantis) but the real prize was that Grandma and Grandpa C came over and stayed with McKenzie and Ben while we were on our trip. Thanks you dear parents.



We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed all the activities that Matt's work planned for us. The hotel we stayed at was fantastic. It had both a boat system and a tram to take you from one end to the other because it was so large. We did find that if we walked really fast we could usually beat either one.




This year we did a snorkel cruise again and of course massages at the spa. The most exciting adventure was a Zodiac tour out on the ocean and going to snorkel by Captain Cooks Monument. We thought that our snorkel cruise had some of the best snorkeling we had experience but the amount and variety of fish we saw out on the Zodiac tour was amazing!






We saw four sea turtles and actually swam with two of them. Below is one of the ones we swam with and then Matt on the shore outside our hotel room with a turtle. We really made use of our cameras underwater features on this trip. We can't wait until we can take pictures of the kiddos in the water this summer.





It was a quick trip, Monday to Friday and then we were back home with the kids to take Grandma out for Mothers Day breakfast on Saturday and then have a relaxing family weekend. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa C for taking good care of our babies!

Those underwater pics are great. You must have an awesome camera. It's something when the best part of vacation is sleep. I feel ya.

Looks like a great trip! Can't imagine how much milk TSA had to scan on your way home! ;)
